Turning off the "aero peek" mode that was added to the new compiz:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
ccsm

At the bottom of the dialog under Window Management, select Static Application Launcher.
In the Appearance tab, set opacity to 100% and brightness to 60% (or 100% for exactly the old behaviour, but 60% is a nice compromise).
